Spooky Action at a Distance

by Joel W.

Strange day—to say the least. I've been very good about exercising. I'm still struggling with the diet. I bought a food journal I intend to start using next week. I think that will help.

I have no idea what's going on at my job—if I'll even have one. I pray that God will help me make my life into what I dream it can be. I'm still working on the law of attraction and trying my best to employ "spooky action at a distance" as Einstein called it. Quantum mechanics—a vanguard of physics where science and philosophy merge, according to Science Daily—says that an entangled pair of atoms can have an effect on one another a few feet away, across a room, and even at a distance light years away. I think that's how prayer works.

I have been working hard to understand how science and philosophy merge. That's part of my research into the Secret. Some days I'm more clear than others. Some days I'm lost. Anyway, I'm praying for the absolute best outcome.

Pilates Ring Giveaway
Once again, I want to plug my giveaway: Pilates Ring Giveaway. A Pilates ring is an excellent exercise tool. It provides resistance for chest, thigh, and abs exercise. It's especially good for those darn flabby inner thighs. All you need to do is leave a comment to be entered for a random drawing. It's a nice prize at about a $25 value. You can get additional entries by following by blog and visiting America's Nutrition's website.  Thanks.

Everybody's Clock Gets Punched—Sooner or Later

Today, I feel kind of blah. I'm doing well with the exercise. As usual, my diet could be better—but it isn't terrible. I mean I haven't eaten a whole pie by myself. It's just one of those days, I guess.

Or maybe I'm just questioning life. My nephew's girlfriend's grandmother—I hope you can follow that—was tragically killed in a car accident this past Friday. The story is really a sad one. And the outcome is the grandfather is now left lost and alone. He's 78. My heart bleeds for him. I have cried for him. They were married for 59 years. Even though I didn't know these folks very well, this tragedy has had major effect on me. Life is so fragile. We're here one minute—squashed like bugs the next.

So I'm not left wondering what it's all about, but wondering why we don't make the most of the time we have? Everybody's clock gets punched—sooner or later. Armed with this information, I should be more than willing to eat right, get fit, and live the life I want. And I am doing better. But I'm also taken back to when I quoted Bill Murray's Groundhog Day character when he said, "What if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today." Why is it so hard to do the things I need to do to make my life what I want it to be?

OK. I have another movie quote. This one is from The Answer Man: "The truth is, you're always doing what you want. Nobody makes you do anything." So my truth is that I'm not doing the things I could be doing because I'm doing what I want right now: eating the wrong things and avoiding the truth. Because there's always tomorrow, right?

I don't intend this post to be doom and gloom. It's supposed to make me realize that if I really want to lose weight, it's up to me to do it.

Don't forget about my giveaway: Pilates Ring Giveaway. It really is a cool prize. At least, I think so.
